Mr. EEL- I am very bad about garnishes. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi Nola!

Amanda- Oh, sausage. Cheap, delicious, versatile… As you can tell by how often I use it, I love it. We are hooked on the sweet italian sausage from the grocery store we used to go to in Hanover, and we stock a cooler every time we go up there and then freeze it. It’s nothing special in terms of a fancy brand or anything, we just like the flavoring that purveyor uses. Try italian sausage from all the grocery stores and butchers in your area–start with the best butcher you can find, who will still probably only charge a few dollars a pound for sausage. Pre-packaged supermarket brands like Hormel should be your very last choice. We like sweet italian because we’re not fans of the spicy, but hot italian or a mixture could be subbed in to any of these recipes if you like some heat. Thanks for reading!

BTW, a couple of posts back you mentioned an unpretty dish… not at all! But that’s what I stock parsley (dried and fresh) for… a quick snip or shake and a little green goes a long way.

Your living room is beautiful.

That meal looks sooooo goooood! Another one to try!
